why do I continue to do this

I used to be the most prepared person.  I don't know what happened.  

I think back in July I went to my sisters and got my niece's old Halloween costumes.  Brought them home, hung them in the closet and didn't give it another thought.  

Fast forward to today.  I went in and pulled the costumes out of the closet because tomorrow is Khloe's Halloween party at her daycare.  Time to try them on (probably shoulda thought of that a little sooner). 

Ladybug = too small

Elmo = way to big

Cookie Monster = way to big

This is me, out of options for costumes.  

In a complete panic I got online and started searching.  What, what, what in the world can she be?

I could put a cardboard box around her and do lots of things.....

She could be popcorn....kinda lame on my part...she is only 2, does she really want to be "popcorn" for Halloween?

I could put some animals in the box and an animal headband on Khloe and a sign that says "pets for sale."  Ran that one past Troy and he said, "We don't want to give her away."  He has a point.

She could be a robot???  Again, not really fun for an almost 3 year old.

Then.....I found it. 

Nothing to do with a cardboard box, but with a quick trip to a fabric store, and a little lot of help from my mom I think it can be pulled off.  Something that can be pulled off at the last minute and something that would excite my little girl.  

Hoping with only about 3 hours to work on it we can pull it off.....told Troy what we are doing and he started laughing.  His reply was "You think you are going to sleep tonight?"  hmmmm

Well wish me luck.  I'll keep you in suspense......
